Binkowski on Binkowski

I can't really say that John Binkowski's news conference at the Capitol today was his announcement of his candidacy for the 6th Congressional District seat. He's already got the endorsement from the Independence Party.

So I'll just call it -- as a colleague suggested -- a "plea for publicity," which is a good call since I'd never heard of him up until now.

Here's most of his news conference (RealAudio), except for the beginning. We have a bunch of fancy, solid state recorders that replaced the DAT machines that replaced good old tape machines that ... worked. These often don't.
